Companion — Your starting deck must contain at least twenty cards more than the minimum deck size. (You may reveal this card from outside the game before you start and declare it as your companion. If you do, your deck must follow the companion's restrictions. You may pay {3} to put this companion from your sideboard to your hand at any time you could cast a sorcery. This action can't be interacted with or countered. You may only choose one companion for your deck before the start of each round.)

When this enters, exile any number of other nonland permanents you own and control. Return those cards to the battlefield at the beginning of the next end step.

Wolf_skelleto Here are some basic tips for building in Modern.

Don't put more than 60 cards in your deck unless you use a specific ability like Yorion, Sky Nomad or Battle of Wits. This will help you draw all the best cards without having too many cards that don't advance your strategy.

Use four copies of the cards you need every game, three copies of the cards you want most games, and two copies of the cards that help your plan but aren't required. This will also help you be consistent in your gameplay, as you get more copies of the most effective cards.

Try to keep the mana value of your cards at four or lower. Casual play can sometimes allow a couple of cards at five or six mana with good protection and support, but even in non-tournament play, mana efficiency is important.

And above all, have fun!

You should add eight more cards so you can use Yorion, Sky Nomad

I mean there is always Roon of the Hidden Realm that blinks stuff and is in Bant, some of the best blink colours? It used to be a real house of a Commander, but now we have stuff that's just way quicker and with a better top end, so you don't have to be stuck in Bracket 4. If you blink something like Yorion, Sky Nomad you can blink a bunch more stuff. You can also throw in good old Brago, King Eternal as a value piece (every time he sneaks in he blinks all your relevant stuff). A real feature of Roon is that Green can help you tutor up creatures, meaning you can find your Archaeomancer more reliably.

The other option I'd suggest is Grand Arbiter Augustin IVGC, and you'd be more into using flicker spells and benefiting from the discount to make them better, while slowing down everyone else. This would be a higher power deck potentially, but would also be harder to run.

I'd go with Roon if you want a less pushed deck (Bracket 2 or 3), or something like GAAIV if you want Bracket 4 blink to work.

This discussion reminds me of a deck of mine a bit, if you're in mono-Blue and you have enough mana and tutoring you can easily set up a game state where you can constantly return stuff from your graveyard to your hand (where you can recast), I used Talrand, Sky Summoner and instead of Fogs I used stuff like Aetherspouts and AEtherize (and Polymorphist's Jest haha) to ruin people's days, I used a mix of Proteus Staff and a low creature count (and having those creatures draw extra cards) to set everything up, and then juggled Stream of Thought and Call to Mind to get anything I want back into my library, where Proteus Staff can reorder my library to then draw said card. FWIW if you have infinite mana (I used Dramatic Reversal and Isochron Scepter for infinite mana) I think you can just infinitely replicate your Stream of Thought to mill out everyone but you, not quite winning on the spot but very close.

Goldberserkerdragon Okay. I'm adding a few that came to mind:

Charming Prince- blinks, scrys, and can create loops with other blinkers.

Yorion, Sky Nomad - blink birb

Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward - blink man that synergizes well with other parts of your deck ala Anointed Procession

Brago, King Eternal - King Blink

Ichor Wellspring - Generic card advantage that plays to the overall gameplan

Emry, Lurker of the Loch - artifact recursion/enables Lotus Petal loops with Displacer Kitten and something like Greaves or TY Elixer if you want to build in a combo

Lotus Petal - great value for 0 that plays to the gameplan and can be replayed fairly easily for mana advantage

Ephemerate - a sneaky instant that gets us value off blink payoffs while serving as a protection spell against targeted removal

Displacer Kitten - a combo engine that actually makes this deck just pop off

Bookrook on Playing more than sixty cards

10 months ago

Is there any value in playing more than sixty cards in constructed formats? Other than cards that specifically care about having more cards in your deck, like Battle of Wits or Yorion, Sky Nomad or combatting a mill deck? The reason I ask this question is because I see people playing about seventy cards or more on arena.

Companion really isn't working out for anything. Yorion, Sky Nomad and Lurrus of the Dream-Den welcome Jegantha, the Wellspring to the land of the Modern lost.

Reanimator's gotten a lot of new toys since Faithless Looting got banned, especially in MH2. I'd like to see it float back up the ranks a little bit. I suppose it would be too much for another Golgari Grave-Troll unban? That worked really well last time, right? I'm sure it'll be fine. What's the worst that could happen? There's a lot of options for graveyard hate right now, especially that Surgical Extraction, and Rest in Peace and Leyline of the Void can still be viable when they're needed. Graveyard-omancy is so hard right now...

I'm interested to see Psychic Frog survive. Not super surprised, but I had it at an outside chance of being banned. It's very color-restricted, but it's been a good engine for several decks. I feel like it's right at the top line for Modern utility.
